Careful Dave!!! You never know when that beloved CEO of your's will take a look at the site. That lime green sign does not have the proper lettering on it meeting his current "standards".

Roger, Add a short clip to the above video to show the oil pressure guage and the reading........50 pounds @ idle before she was shipped to the U.K. but that data is only good in the USA. We will let Roger do the metric conversion and post later.......Boat dr

Now to figure out what to utilize that great welded up shipping crate for!
Put casters on it and build a roll around bench? |

Pete that may be a bit of over kill on the "crate", but I never heard anyone say they had too much insurance when shipping ..........A set of castors , a battery box and a fuel source will complete said display/engine stand..
I can hear Roger now," hey guys listen to this ".......... |

Just in case someone doesn't notice, that's a steel box tube framed box with plywood zip screws to it!! The steel is what Roger is referring to as the "engine stand too"!!

Keith will post sign up info and dates on this site. I think we had 25 boats last year, and the date change to the last week end in March will only add more boats and guests to the list.
Reservations are needed to insure you a place at Parramores Fantastic Family Fish Camp and Resort. We filled up early last year.........What better place to be in late March..........Billy |

flipflop, plans are to have a small "get together" in Astor Florida in late March. There should be a Y Block there, that will raise the bar just a bit...........A couple of years older , but.....
